Three thrilling true life tales of once famous circus and music hall stars. Who was Zazel, The Human Cannonball? Why was Trick Cyclist Professor Letine brutally murdered at the stage door? What secret did Lulu-The Eighth Wonder Of The World hide? Each story is meticulously researched using contemporary newspaper reports, books, and archived materials. Often overlooked or previously unknown factual threads are pulled together presenting a fresh picture. These articles were first published in Ripperologist Magazine in 2017-2018.
